POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug — one blade is wider than the
other. As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it and try
again. If it still does not fit, contact an electrician.
Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the bottom cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not attempt to remove the bottom cover. There are no user serviceable
parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
The cord length of this appliance was selected to reduce safety hazards that
may occur with a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension
cord may be used. It should be rated not less than 10 amperes, 120 volts,
and should have Underwriters Laboratories listing. When using a longer
cord, be sure that it does not drape over a working area or dangle where it
could be pulled on or tripped over.
